    I would vote for black sashing, and I would do a thin line not a wide one, to get the effect without taking away from all the wonderful colors and design.......it will look good, no matter which way you decide to do it..

    Odd, but I think the gold makes the blocks pop! My feeling is the gold is warmer and more cozy and comforting. The blue, while the color is beautiful, leaves me in the cold. Good luck! Whatever you decide will be right for you.

    Hi
    The yellow seems to wash the blocks out to me.
    Lay it out and get across the room from it and see what is more pleasing to you.

    I recently did a quilt just like this but the colors were primarily in purple and green. I chose to sash it, as the blocks were so busy with the different fabrics. I used fabrics that went through all the blocks and sashed it with three fabrics. I sewed width of fabric one inch strips of dark with design, middle was turqoise with little design on it and then I repeated the first one. It really pulled the quilt into a different look than doing it with out the sashing. When I quilt it, I will post it here.

    If I had to choose for you, I would go with the yellow one. Keep it vibrant.
